I made my quarterly return to OHWB last month to shoot the fall cocktail menu, featuring a lineup of drinks that celebrate the season with plenty of apple, spice and herbal flavors.
OHWB is swiftly becoming a brand of its own, and as they grow, I have had the opportunity to refine and polish my own style as well. I am incredibly pleased with this latest round of images.
Mixed in Pensacola: Old Hickory Whiskey Bar's Summer Menu
The cocktail experience is first visual.
Summer weather has arrived, and with it has come Old Hickory Whiskey Bar's summer cocktail menu. It is always a pleasure to capture photos of the beautiful drinks the OHWB crew creates every season. If you haven't sampled the new menu yet, every cocktail is a pure delight.

Where to begin?
Old Hickory first earned my affection on the strength of the name. I grew up with my grandmother telling me that her side of the family was descended from President Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson, the historical bad@$$ who invaded Spanish Florida twice and generally Honey Badgered his way through into historical record.
Long story short, Pensacola, for its own quirky reasons, reveres Andrew Jackson. There are several sites around town dedicated to his memory and my ears perk up when I hear about a new one.
Two years ago, Old Hickory opened its doors and I was absolutely floored by the atmosphere of the bar, the number of whiskeys in stock and the incredible friendliness of the owners and staff. It's a place that keeps the music low and the cocktails perfect. It invites slow drinks and long conversations with both friends and strangers. And, like any good craft cocktail bar, the signature drinks often involve bursts of flame.
